Top Travel Brands Hiring Creators: March 2026

Travel is one of the most creator-friendly niches out there. Airlines, hotels, tourism boards, and booking platforms all spend on creator content - and spring is when budgets ramp up for summer campaigns. Skyscanner is the most active by far, but there's a huge spread of airlines, hotel chains, and destinations actively hiring.

We tracked verified paid partnerships across Instagram and TikTok in the Travel niche. These brands are spending on creator content right now.

Why These Brands Matter

Every brand on this list has verified paid partnerships we tracked in real-time. Travel is seasonal - spring means brands are booking creators for summer campaigns, holiday destinations are planning ahead, and airlines are pushing new routes.

If you create travel content, now is when you want to be pitching. Brands are locking in creators before peak travel season.

How to Use This List

Option 1: Smart Brand Matching

Not sure which brands are the best fit for you? Our Smart Brand Discovery tool analyzes your content niche and matches you with brands from our database that align with your style.

Option 2: Generate a Pitch

Pick any brand on CollabFeed and we'll generate a personalized pitch. Our pitch generator analyzes the brand's real campaign data and writes a pitch tailored to what they're actually looking for.

Option 3: Do It Yourself

1. Pitch before your trip. Don't post and tag hoping for a deal. Reach out to airlines, hotels, and tourism boards before you travel.
2. Be destination-specific. "I'm traveling to Puglia in June" is better than "I'm a travel creator." Show them you have a plan.
3. Offer a content package. Travel brands want multiple deliverables - Reels, Stories, a blog mention. Bundle your pitch.
